Debug & breakpoints with Visual Studio 2017 (old)

• Download repository and open WinCeCompatLayer solution

  

• Start program you want to debug, but do not close window like below

  

• Open Task Manager, select program that you want to debug, open context menu and click Debug

  

• In opened window choose opened solution and click OK

  

• Now you can configure your breakpoints if you want

  

• Return to the window from the 1st step and click OK to continue

• After breaking a program, you can view anything as in usual VC++ Debug session! You can view arguments

  

• Or you can view returnable values. That's why code looks like below: we want to save returned value for debugging.

  

• Additionally you can handle Win32 errors like here

if (w32err(result == NULL))
{
    auto win32error = GetLastError();
    DebugBreak();
}

w32err checks for expression and works only if debugger is present. Here how it works:

• Additionally, you can change code when program is paused!
